Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri,

Verse Takeaways

Why Names Differ in the Bible

Scholars explain that the names in this verse likely differ from the parallel list in 2 Samuel due to scribal copying errors over time. For example, 'Mibhar the son of Hagri' is probably a corruption of 'of Zobah, Bani the Gadite.' This shows how minor textual variations can occur without affecting the Bible's core message.
